The grant alleviates most of the cost of running a book club, which includes books, snacks, guest speakers and a field trip, and allows for a large group of students to participate.

The John Newberry Medal is awarded annually to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children published in English in the United States during the preceding year.

The Mock Newberry Club begins in September and lasts through January, when the Newberry award is announced. The group meets, on average, three times a month. Students are required to read at least one book every two weeks. Through group and online discussions, students talk about books and use the same criteria as the real committee does to rate books and discuss them. In the end, the students choose three books (a winner and two honor books) and tally up as a group to pick their winner. Then on the day of the Newberry announcement, the students gather for lunch in the library as a group and watch the presentation which also announces the winners of many other literary awards from the American Literary Association.
